    Title: Angelina's Funghi In Pastella (Mushroom Fritters)
    Categories: Mushrooms, Herbs
    Yield: 5 servings

    MMMMM-------------------------MUSHROOMS------------------------------
    1 lb Mushrooms; rough chopped
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    1 Handful parsley; chopped
    Salt & pepper
    Olive oil

    MMMMM---------------------------BATTER--------------------------------
    1 lg Egg
    3/4 c Water
    1 1/2 c Flour
    Salt & pepper

    MMMMM--------------------------OPTIONAL-------------------------------
    4 tb Grated parmesan cheese

    MMMMM----------------------FOR DEEP FRYING---------------------------
    Olive oil

    Sauté the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil with the
    garlic and parsley, and seasoning lightly with salt and
    pepper, as if you were making funghi trifolati. (Be
    sparing with the oil.) Let cool.

    Beat the egg and water together, and whisk in the flour
    little by little until you have a homogenous batter.

    Add the mushrooms to the batter. Season the batter with
    a bit more salt and pepper-not too much as the mushrooms
    are already seasoned and, if using the grated cheese. As
    you add ingredients, fold everything together well with
    a spatula until the mushroom and batter mixture is quite
    uniform.

    Now heat abundant oil in a pan, at least one inch (3 cm)
    deep. When the oil is hot (but not boiling) drop
    spoonfuls of the mushroom batter into abundant hot oil,
    keeping them well spaced. Deep fry until golden brown,
    proceeding in batches if need be, and transferring the
    fritters as they are done to a tray lined with paper
    towels or (my preference) a cooling rack placed over a
    baking sheet.

    Serve your mushroom fritters hot, sprinkled with some
    additional salt if you like.

    ... It was 2:00 p.m., too early for wine but not for chocolate.
